Contact Lenses

There are hundreds of contact lenses on the market and the choice of what to go for can seem daunting but Sue will carry out a full assessment and consultation discussing the various types of lenses and establish what the best option is for the individual’s lifestyle requirements.

Contact lenses don’t have to be worn full time and are a great alternative to glasses for sports, social occasions and holidays.

If you were previously unsuccessful with contact lenses for whatever reason we are happy to discuss a retrial. Contact lens types are ever changing and new lenses mean that patients who were previously unsuccessful have new options available.
